Hi guys…well, I installed Buddy Press AND BBpress and I am trying to set up my forum pages. I have set up a single forum and no matter how I try, I can’t get the “Forum” to show up in my menu. I have tried creating a menu item that points to the actual “forum” itself, but it returns with “page not found”. You can see the site at http://www.ldjautobody.com/tempsite.

I know this is just me being “brain dead” at the moment, but could someone please help me out with configuring the “BuddyPress” part of this? I’d really appreciate it.

I have some other questions too, but I will save those for later as they have to do with keeping out people who insist on creating pages that are TOTALLY unrelated to our site…LOL and I’m sure that you guys deal with THAT problem on a daily basis! Once I get the site up and running I will no doubt have questions regarding that little problem. Just to give you a good laugh this fine Sunday morning…I had 12 new groups created last night…all written in Polish and ALL of them related to website design, SEO and other fun topics that have nothing to do with cars! But, that is for a later post. Right now…I just need to get this thing running!

Thanks for any help!

What is the title/slug of your main forum page. This main forum page should be created via Pages > Add New. At the very least, if you forgot to add the forums index or other available bbPress shortcodes to the main forum page before publishing that page, you’d only get a page with Page title and not a 404 error.
